And on his way, he said to the former commander in chief, “Hey, Mr. President, you staying out of trouble?”
He never even stopped to have a conversation with him. And went right outside to play the game he was born for. The confidence in him was so high that no matter who came in front of him, it did not matter.
The former president, on the other hand, was left bamboozled and thinking about what just happened here!
What was so unique in Jeter’s greeting to his team?
No one would have thought the person who was the model of correctness, had nothing bad ever linked to him, could greet his team in a such funny way.
He used to breeze by his team’s batboys and attendants and uttered, “How’re you doin’, biatches?”
The person who was obsessed with staying out of trouble kept this side of his hidden from his fans and media as well. Maybe because of his obsession only, he was given the title, ‘Mr. Clean.’
